Sha has mentoring roles in the Neuroscience, Biophysics, and Biomedical Sciences graduate programs at OSU. She obtained her Laurea cum Laude in pure mathematics in Pisa, Italy and got her PhD in applied mathematics at Boston University. Dr. Malerba gained experience during her post-doctoral training as a theoretician and modeler in experimental laboratories in bioengineering, neurophysiology, and cognitive sciences, thus developing a unique skillset in interdisciplinary research.
Since 2019, her laboratory at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital studies the organization of brain dynamics during sleep and its relation to function in typical and atypical development. Her current research, supported by NHLBI, NIMH, and the Worthington Industries Fund at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, focuses on clinical/functional applications of quantitative analytics of sleep EEG, with the long-term goal of leveraging sleep’s role in health and function for better outcomes.
